Equations (4) and (5) lead to different formulas for the integral of arctan x:
a. ∫ arctan x dx = x arctan x - ln sec(arctan x) + C [Eq. (4)]
b. ∫ arctan x dx = x arctan x - ln √(1 + x²) + C [Eq. (5)]
Can both integrations be correct? Explain.

Step 1: Understand that both formulas represent the integral \( \int \arctan x \, dx \) but are expressed differently. Our goal is to verify if these two expressions differ by only a constant, which means they are equivalent up to an additive constant \( C \).
Step 2: Recall the trigonometric identity relating \( \sec(\theta) \) and \( \tan(\theta) \): \[ \sec^2(\theta) = 1 + \tan^2(\theta) \] Since \( \theta = \arctan x \), substitute to get: \[ \sec(\arctan x) = \sqrt{1 + x^2} \]
Step 3: Substitute \( \sec(\arctan x) \) in the first formula with \( \sqrt{1 + x^2} \) from the identity above. This shows that: \[ \ln \sec(\arctan x) = \ln \sqrt{1 + x^2} \]
Step 4: Recognize that the difference between the two integral expressions is just the constant of integration \( C \), since the logarithmic terms are equivalent by the identity. Therefore, both formulas are correct and represent the same family of antiderivatives.
Step 5: Conclude that different-looking expressions for an integral can be equivalent if they differ by a constant, which is always possible due to the arbitrary constant in indefinite integrals.

Integration by Parts

Integration by parts is a technique used to integrate products of functions. It is based on the product rule for differentiation and is expressed as ∫u dv = uv - ∫v du. This method is often applied to integrals involving inverse trigonometric functions like arctan x.

Logarithmic Identities and Simplification

Logarithmic expressions can often be rewritten using identities like ln(sec(arctan x)) = ln(√(1 + x²)). Recognizing these equivalences is crucial to show that different integral forms are actually the same up to a constant, confirming the correctness of both results.
